Sundar Pichai\u2019s new pay package could be worth $692 million. Per a filing<\/a> first spied by the FT<\/a>, Alphabet has structured a three-year deal for its Google CEO that could make him one of the highest-paid executives on the planet \u2014 but most of it is tied to performance, including new stock incentives linked to Waymo and its drone delivery venture Wing.<\/p>\n What\u2019s striking is how little public fascination Pichai attracts compared to Google\u2019s founders. Larry Page and Sergey Brin \u2014 the second- and fourth-richest people in the world \u2014 have lately captured headlines for a different reason entirely.<\/p>\n Both have been snapping up lavish Miami properties, widely seen as a response to California\u2019s proposed Billionaire Tax Act<\/a> \u2014 a ballot initiative targeting the state\u2019s roughly 200 billionaires with a one-time 5% levy on net worth exceeding $1 billion. Page reportedly spent over $173 million on two mansions in Coconut Grove, Florida, recently, while Brin was just linked to a $51 million megamansion 14 miles away<\/a>, atop two earlier purchases totaling $92 million.<\/p>\n Pichai, by contrast, remains quietly rooted in Los Altos, California, as far as the public knows. He\u2019s a billionaire, too \u2014 the nearly sevenfold growth in Google\u2019s market cap since he took the helm in 2015 has made the stock he\u2019s accumulated along the way hugely valuable. He and his wife currently hold shares worth nearly $500 million<\/a>, with another estimated $650 million<\/a> sold as of last summer, per Bloomberg\u2019s calculations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
